Something to add to the Ormond way section of O'Sullivan Beare's march through Tipperary. From the Irish Tourism Report on Templederry dating to the 1940s.
"A round conical hill, tree covered, picturesque mound, which is the traditional burial place of some of O’Sullivan Beare’s followers killed at Latteragh (see under Battles). Local residents say that the height of this mound is gradually falling and that the inside is hollow. An opening into the interior (now overgrown) on the side facing the river will be located by” neighbours who lived nearby.
“A.D 1602 On Chrismas Day. O’Sullivan Beare was obliged to go away unreceived by the Earl (Thomond)… on the seventh night he remained at Leathrach… he was not a day or a night without receiving fierce assaults and battles”.
